Legacy of Brutality is a compilation album released 2 years after the Misfits breakup in 1983. It covers the group’s early material, before their first album Walk Among Us and the addition of guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein. (Static Age was recorded first but was not released until 1997) .
Glenn Danzig provides overdubbed guitar and bass parts on almost all of the songs, rumored to have been done to avoid paying royalties. It’s the only official Misfits release, other than the 1996 box set to feature the songs “American Nightmare” and “Who Killed Marilyn?”.
